Formerly part of Listrac, Saransot-Dupré is fortunate to possess a single, contiguous vineyard. The large Saransot estate comprises 38 hectares, 17 of which are planted with vines, the remainder consisting of natural meadows and a few groves. The vineyard is composed of 59% Merlot, 17% Petit Verdot, 15% Cabernet Franc, 8% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 1% Carmenère.
Tasting Note: Merlot provides the foundation: flavours of chocolate, cherry, plum and a rounded, soft body. The Petit Verdot brings its power which the Merlot can sometimes lack and aromas of red fruits. The Cabernet Franc elevates it all, with its freshness and elegance. A touch of Cabernet Sauvignon can give some structure particularly in ripe vintages.
Origin: Listrac-Médoc, Bordeaux, France
